ples of certain social races. This type of racism is more difficult to address because it is implicit in the policies of organizations and often unconscious. Cultural racism is the basis of both individual and systemic of racism, as it is the value system, which is embedded in society, which supports and allows discriminatory actions, based on perceptions of racial difference, cultural superiority and inferiority.
Prejudice involves the stereotyping of particular groups and can form a basis for exclusion. While prejudice may not necessarily lead to discriminatory actions, it is likely to influence the decisions and actions of individuals, and may, therefore, lead to discrimination, in relation to recruitment policies, employment practice and service provision. Prejudice can be because of religion, color, race or sexual preferences. For example, a Muslim applies to rent an apartment from an American landlord. If the landlord hates Muslims personally but rents the apartment and treats the tenant on an equal basis with any other in charging rent, maintaining the apartment, etc, that is an example of prejudice but not of racism. If the landlord refuses to rent the apartment to a Muslim, the landlord's action is racism. Racial discrimination is the treatment of one person less favorably than another on racial grounds, which includes race, color, nationality (including citizenship) or ethnic or national origins. It can occur when individuals are treated differently because of unalterable characteristics, such as physical features, native to their "race". For example, an Arab man is asked for rental references when others are not. A Latino man is told by a real estate agency that a rental property is no longer available but it is advertised again the next day. Staff working in a retail store are rude and abrupt with people from non-English speaking backgrounds. All of these are examples of racial discrimination.
